The pilots of "Battle of Britain Model Squadron" re-united at BMFA Buckminster to fly and film on 9th & 10th September 2020. All the flying sequences are our radio control models - none of the in-flight clips are full-size planes. Some were flown by line of sight, but three were flown FPV, and cockpit footage from those three models is mixed in with external shots which were taken from the ground and a chase quad.
In addition to marking the 80th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain, the reunion also marked the 2nd Anniversary of the airing on Channel 4 of the final episode of "Battle of Britain Model Squadron", allowing us once more to take to the sky in mass formations and furballs. All the flying clips in this production were filmed in just two mass aerial "battles", with a few clips added from two other flights, involving only 2 aircraft on each flight.
We are aware that some of the Spitfires are Mk IXs in late war camouflage, and that the 109s are also later wartime versions. But these are our own models and we allow ourselves some slack in the interests of personal cost management!
It was sad that our German squadron buddies were unable to join us for the re-union this year, as was originally planned, but Coronavirus had other ideas.
I have used a few music and movie clips and have acknowledged that in the on-screen credits.
